Christ, I'm so sick of these commercials about P.M.S, Tampons, and anything else involving that part! I mean, there are less TOILET PAPER commercials than these annoying tampon commercials!!!!!!!! And these P.M.S ones....oi! I mean, we're not bombarded by mens condom commercials, or jock strap ad's... Just recently, though, they've come out with these enzyte commericials, which are just about equally annoying as the P.M.S. one's. I mean, nobody wants to hear this when they're eating: "Are you sure you want to wear a bikini when you're mestruating? But what about all that bloating, cramps, and irritation?" "Don't worry! I've got ____. God I'd like a brownie". "Yep, she's menstruating!!! ehehahahahehehahaha"

And yes, I just saw a commercial where the dialogue was almost exactly that. SSSSTTTTOOOOOOPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with these ad's.

I've got a rant for you on this...

...how come the girl on the douche bottle at the super market has such a pretty smile? And why does she look like my ex-girlfriend. I shouldn't get find the "douche lady" attractive, but I do.

...also, have you seen the girl that used to be on the commerical for 1. yeast infection, 2. herpes, 3. and menstrual cramps? Who in the heck is she giving herpes to while she has a yeast infection AND on her period? I don't think that Monastat 7, 3, or 1 will cure whatever she has going on down there...

You people are so funny, but what can I say I am a women and I do get tired of so many commercial too, ha, ha, ha,

I don't see any men complaining about Viagra commercials, when I see those I feel like men should be pity for having "men performance problems" it sound just like PMS to me.

c'mon the Viagra commercial with "We Are the Champions" (I'm using this title because most people will recognize it under this name)...okay, if you were champions then your member would work properly...

and a word to Enzyte...you have made the name "Bob" uncool again...that used to be the coolest, just going around saying "Bob" but now all I think about when I hear "Bob" is a smiling idiot that's happy because Little Bobby can look you in the eye again...

Eh i think most ads on TV are crap and i avoid watching TV as much as possible, its just full of American Trash Culture (some of which i am a sucker to).

As for viagra, many people use it as a recreational drug to make love all night long... even people who usually wouldnt have problems getting it up two or three times a night will use it just so they can go 7 or 8...

Herman, I will simply die if I don't know which ones have wings and four wall protection!!

I agree, it's getting kind of rediculous. But I have to say, the newest male erectile aid one cracks me up. It's for something that lasts up to 36 hours, so you don't have to take it and get ready right away. But the whole commercial this guy is all over this poor woman. She's sitting on the front steps trying to repot some plants or something, and he clomps down behind her and scoops her up in a big bear hug. I wish she'd say "For god's sake, I'm trying to do something here!!" and give him some tissues or something. Makes him look uncontrollable, like he's going to hump someone's leg in another minute. Then it warns that if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours, see a doctor. I bet their phones lit up!

I'm behind you. I don't want anymore genitalia/reproduction commercials on. And while they're at it, no more mystery commercials with people running, flying kites and going out to dinner that just say "Ask your doctor about ______" without saying what it's for. I'm not asking him. And no more commercials where the guy is so stupid he can't handle getting a trash bag out of the can to take it out to the curb without bobbling it and slopping it all over himself. He doesn't need drawstrings, he needs to stop getting drunk before he takes out the trash. *L*

Yeah, they're really annoying
. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! Just as I was writing this, a f-ing commercial came on!!! I'm also eating desert!!!! DAAAAMMMNNN IIIITTTTT. It's about some stupid surgery that women can have to get rid of cramping and bleeding... Then they always have to throw in the word "Period" in some sly way to make it funny! "This surgery works, period!" Jesus H. Christ, ENOUGH WITH THESE COMMERCIALS!

Well, I don't really despise the erectile dysmy God, just the name is funny) commercials as much as I laugh hysterically at them. You see, a few years ago, there was a skit on SNL about viagra. It was made to look like one of the commercials and feature middle aged couples talking about viagra. When it came to the end, the men were smiling and said, "Thanks Viagra", and then the women, looking very forlorn and angry, said grumpily, "Yeah, thanks viagra". And now every time I see one of the commercials, I think of that skit and begin uncontrolled laughter. Those poor women, they had finally gotten to the point in life where he was no longer able perform, and then viagra comes along and ruins everything.lol

As for the PMS, tampon,etc. ads. I grew up in a house full of women, these things just don't bother me. I mean, I knew what tampons were for before most girls did.

PS, as a means of self-defense, I learned at a very early age that if you want to clear out a large group of annoying sisters out of your room, the most effective means is simply to fart.lol. Gets 'em every time. You would be amazed at how many chemical weapons a 7 years old boy can produce.

The part that get me the most is when at the end of the commercial for (Erectile dysfunction) it comes with "If your erection last more than 70 something hours get immediately attention" well what that means? I though that the whole purpose was to get "an erection" that last, Right?

For the world (Erectile ) that world will bring to my mine a bomb or something like that, is that the purpose of th word?

i HATE loathe despise and simply abhor those "erectile" drug commericals. i am so damn tired of seeing them during football games its not funny. surely us guys know how to make an appointment to see our doctor should we run into this problem in the future, right? that just for men hair color? same thing! in fact i hope my hair turns grey or snow white tommorow! i'll make a concious effort to NOT buy those products because i am annoyed by them!



i hate feminine hygeine commericals.

you never see a commercial with two guys talking in a locker room..."hey bob my balls itch!" "mine use to itch hell like steve but i found ball-o! and my balls dont itch anymore"...we guys know where to find this stuff, we know it exists and dont need a reminder, the itch does it for us.

so in why gods name are there so many commericals for "feminine deoderant spray" yeast infection creams and pills and pregnancy tests and tamptons and maxi pads???? since women have a period once a month i wouldnt imagine they'd need a damn reminder about kotex!

and how many times did we see the commerical where the guy thought the tampon was a sugar packet??? if that wasnt insulting to guys i dont know that is...i've never seen a sugar packet THAT big before and the packet usually says "SUGAR" on it, a dead give away its actually sugar. in fact tampons usually have the makers name on the packaging! i've been around enough women to take notice of certain things and there is no way you're gonna mistake a tampon for a packet of sugar, if you do, you probably deserve to have the tampon soak up your entire cup of coffee and make you look like an idiot.


ban these commericials! ban them all!

It would be un-American to ban these commercials because the advertisers must be kept in business. It's their duty to inform women of all possible products to keep us lean, clean and mean. It's our duty as Americans to watch the commercials and be informed about erections, tampons, hemmorhoids and other fun things.

There are more commercials for women's hygeine products because it's a complicated machine. Men have a more basic model. No different from a plug and an electrical outlet. Which is tougher to fix? Which can have more go wrong? The prongs on the plug bend, just bend 'em back straight. The plug fries, cut it off and splice on a new plug... or even throw the whole cord away and replace it. There's even fake plugs to keep kids from electrocuting themselves. But the outlet... that's another story entirely. It's a wonderful convenience, but if something goes wrong it can be complicated to fix and even downright dangerous. More complexity means more tools and materials to fix and maintain it. Thus, more commercials.

Be glad someone is telling women how to take care of themselves, because some only learn from the tv.


And now, as seen on tv, men must learn how to cook for themselves without opening a can of Chunky Soup, learn how to manipulate trashbags without drawstrings, stop buying satellite and big screen tv for football games, do something about your stinky shoes and athlete's foot, realize that your barber won't remember you if you get yourself some new hair 20 years after your last visit and women won't be crawling all over you if you use AXE body spray.

It's all pretty stupid, but vitally important to the continued survival of our economy! *L*

That's so dumb, now this cold bring us right back to the issue of sexism, torque
. Let's not get into THAT again, though. If I ever met a man who couldn't take out the garbage....I'd kill him, haha. My dad is one of the toughest people, and he can cook pretty well. He does it all the time. He's better at the barbeque (sp?) though. How come everytime a new post comes into here, I always happen to be EATING when I read it? No, I'm not over-weight and just always eating for some of you comics out there

Yup i hate 'those' adverts- we get tena lady adverts as well and something call femfresh lol it makes me cry with laughter- there all so serious.

I havent seen the viagra advert- maybe we dont get it in the UK?

We all know what they do and that- so why so many of them.

Women do sell or should i say a womans body can sell products easily- you stick a gorgeous female on something and it sells !!

The womans body is just more attractive to look at- and im straight!!

I know what you mean
. I'll come up with a new one, more fitting to these "period" one's.

"Bob, it's that time again."
"What time, old friend?'
"That time...It's me and my wife's anniversary, and I need to find some long lasting protection for....tonight, you know?"
"Yeah, I know"
*Guy three walks in*
"Well, seems like you're in luck Bob"
"I am?"
"Yeah, because the new ____ fits tightly, but doesn't restrict! You can have that long lasting comfort, and not worry about leaks!!"

*Some disgusting illustration portraying how the product fits*

"Thanks, guy number 3!!!!!"

Once again,

Exactly, Herman! The commercials make men look stupid and women look like they're perpetually "on the bench". *LOL*

The only time my dad or ex had a problem with the trash was when it was left to go so long that no bag made of any substance known to man would be able to hold it all in! But instead of making two bags of it, they'd struggle and finesse it until it all went, even if the bag was about to scream for mercy and explode. *L*

I thought the AXE commercials were the men's secret society way of saying "here's a way to keep your balls fresh!".
